Morro Edible Film
Flexible films are amongst the most polluting plastics on the planet. But what if you could not only replace single-use packaging, but you could eat it too?
Our films replace the ‘soluble’ plastics presently used to wrap dishwasher tablets and laundry pods.
Greener cleaning and greener laundry
Conventional dishwasher tablets and laundry pods rely on ‘soluble’ plastic wrappings to protect them in storage or transit. Morro Soluble Film is a natural, plastic-free replacement that keeps dishwasher tablets and laundry pods ready-to-use with a more sustainable alternative.
How is Morro Soluble Film manufactured?
Morro materials are a drop-in solution. That means no changes are required to machinery or manufacturing processes to use our material. By using existing production lines and technology, we dramatically reduce the cost and time required to go plastic free.
Personal care applications
Alongside laundry and dishwasher wrapping, Morro Soluble Film can be used as a single-use flexible sachet to package personal care products, such as shower gel, shampoos and moisturisers.
Offering the necessary functional properties, the packaging can be dissolved in hot or cold water after use, leaving nothing behind.
Around the globe, 855 billion plastic sachets are produced and used each year. These are generally food or chemical contaminated, since some of their contents always remain in the packaging after use. Morro Soluble Film provides a natural alternative, enabling single-serve items to be provided to consumers without plastic pollution.
Meanwhile, across the world, people rely on dishwasher tablets and laundry pods that dissolve in the wash. Yet recent evidence shows the plastics in these products do not fully breakdown, posing a threat to the marine environment and to soils, as they wash away. Morro soluble films replace these materials with a natural polymer which matches the functionality of plastic but dissolves completely when it is washed away.
Morro materials are made from plants which are engineered and processed to create versatile and sustainable materials that protect and deliver products and ingredients without harming the planet.
